NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapte 11 Perimeter and Area Exercise 11.1

Question 1.
The length and the breadth of a rectangular piece of land are 500 m and 300 m respectively. Find
(i) its area
(ii) the cost of the land if 1 m² of the land costs ₹ 10,000.

Solution:

(i) For a rectangular piece of land,
Length = 500 m
Breadth = 300 m
∴ Area of the rectangular piece of land = Length × Breadth , = 500 × 300 m² = 150,000 m²

(ii) 1 m² of the land costs = ₹ 10,000
∵ 150,000 m² of the land costs = ₹ 10,000 × 150,000 = ₹ 1,500,000,000.

Question 2.
Find the area of a square park whose perimeter is 320 m.

Solution:

We have, perimeter of a square park = 320 m
∴ Side of the square park = ([late×]\frac { 320 }{ 4 } [/late×]) m = 80 m
∴ Area of square park = (Side)²= (80)² m² = 6400 m²

Question 3.

Solution:

Question 11.
A circle of radius 2 cm is cut out from a square piece of an aluminium sheet of side 6 cm. What is the area of the left over aluminium sheet? (Take π = 3.14)

Solution:

Area of the square aluminium sheet = (6)² cm² = 36 cm²
Area of the circle cut out from the sheet = (3.14 × 2 × 2) cm² = 12.56 cm²
Area of the sheet left over = (36 – 12.56) cm² = 23.44 cm²

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter and Area 40

Solution:

Question 14.
A circular flower garden has an area of 314 m². A sprinkler at the centre of the garden can cover an area that has a radius of 12 m. Will the sprinkler water the entire garden? (Take π = 3.14)

Solution:

Circular area of the sprinkler = πr²
= 3.14 × 12 × 12
=3.14 × 144 = 452.16 m²
Area of the circular flower garden = 314 m²
Since, area of the circular flower garden is smaller than by sprinkler. Therefore, the sprinkler will water the entire garden.
